Take advantage of the jackpot ceiling
EuroMillions jackpot cap is 200 million, and excess funds, which could have been added to the main prize, moves to the next prize tier with any number of winners. While this doesn't technically make you a jackpot winner, you still have a chance to pick up a seven-figure amount if five main numbers and one Lucky Star number match, and the odds of winning in this prize tier are only 1 of 6 991 908, compared with 1 of 139 838 160 for the jackpot.
On Friday, 8 july 2011 of the year, after the jackpot has hit the ceiling 185 million, six winners in the "5 + 1»Won 3,3 million pounds sterling (4,5 million).
After, how the jackpot reaches 200 million, it can be extended four times, before either is won, or will replenish the prize pool of the next level. During these rollovers (prolongations) any excess funds, which would be added to the jackpot, also go to the next level, thereby increasing your chances of winning a prize, able to change life, without the need to match all the numbers played.

Jackpot Limit History
When EuroMillions was first presented to the public in 2004 year, lottery jackpot was capped by the maximum number of transfers - 11 time. When, if in the twelfth draw none of the participants guessed correctly 5 main numbers and 2 "Lucky stars", then the main prize will be transferred to the next prize tier, which has a winner.
In November 2009 of the year, Jackpot transfer rules have been revised and replaced with a limited jackpot(ang. Jackpot cap), equal 185 million euros. However, the rules also stated, that in case of reaching the maximum ceiling, the jackpot will be increased by 5 million euros.

One of these changes was an increase in the number of jackpot draws for the total 190 000 000 € before downgrading to a lower prize tier and splitting between ticket holders in that tier. Initially, the total prize could reach the limit and remain active for one draw before being downgraded in the second draw; however, as a result of these changes, the limit increased to four draws.
In February 2020 the EuroMillions prize distribution scheme has changed, as a result, now a larger percentage of the prize pool of each draw is credited to the jackpot. To make the prize even bigger, upper jackpot limit increased from 190 to 200 million euros. According to the new rules, the upper limit of the jackpot is increased by 10 million euros every time, when the jackpot is won or rolled over to a lower prize tier, and the absolute maximum jackpot is 250 million euros.
